Estudio sobre el mercado de divisas en los estudiantes de séptimo y octavo semestre de la carrera de Finanzas de la ESPOCH en el año 2021

Abstract

The objective of this study was to carry out an investigation focused on the foreign exchange market, specifically on a technical and fundamental analysis, two principal methods to predict the possible future price of a certain financial instrument within FOREX, where it was possible to determine the feasibility during the participation of the seventh and eighth semester students from the Finance School at Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo. To demonstrate the problems, some surveys were carried out and focused on detecting the level of knowledge that seventh and eighth grade students had, both on the foreign exchange market and technical and fundamental analysis, as well as the analysis of the two latest curricula to support the lack of a depth knowledge about the study variables. The results were evident and conclusive as in both the curricular plan and the students´ knowledge, the study variables were not studied in depth, indicating the need to be able to analyze these two methods. It was concluded that the implementation of these study topics within the teaching plans provided for the last PAOs is very necessary, as it would be beneficial for both the level of education that the student will receive and the prestige of the institution
